How to Serve
* Chilled: Bareksten Aquavit can be served chilled in a small shot glass, similar to how vodka is served. This is a popular way to enjoy aquavit in Norway, and it is a good way to appreciate the spirit's complex flavor profile.
* At room temperature: Bareksten Aquavit can also be served at room temperature in a snifter glass. This allows the spirit's aromas to open up, and it can be a more enjoyable way to drink aquavit for those who are not used to the strong caraway flavor.
* With food: Bareksten Aquavit pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, smoked meats, and cheeses. It is often served with traditional Norwegian dishes such as gravlax (cured salmon) and lutefisk (dried cod).
